<< < (4/5) > >>

WTF??? I finished recompiling - Mappy and Super Pac-Man work fine (as do most other games I tried) but now Galaga isn't working.  I get an error message saying:


--- Quote ---51xx.bin FILE NOT FOUND
ERROR: required files are missing, the game cannot be run
--- End quote ---

I get this error for each of the 5 versions in my romset.  What is going on?  HELP!!!

SGT:
The error message says it all.   This newest version of Mame requires a file called 51xx.bin in the galaga rom that you don't have in your existing rom.  Look at the WIP on this link and you can see that it was just added in u3 of 119:

http://www.mameworld.net/maws/romset/galaga

The sad part is that it looks like this file was added for some future use.  Your only options are to find this file and put it into your galaga.zip or get the latest galaga rom from somewhere.  Another option is to use an older version of Mame for galaga.  Many people run multiple versions of Mame for various reasons.

When I said that I "rarely" had to update a rom, I didn't mean never.  Sorry dude.

Awesome!  Thank you so much.  I'm glad someone could tell me what the deal was.  If I recompile .119 but stop at u2 instead of going up to u3 this should fix the problem, right?  And I'll still be able to take advantage of the newest hi_119u2.diff file, right?

:cheers:

I am using the 119 romset and have no issues with galaga. its has no updates though. at what point does it kill galaga 119u1 or u2 ect.

I can confirm Galaga works in .119u2 but NOT in .119u3 without an update to the rom.  I rolled back MAME to .119u2 and everything works perfectly - Mappy, Galaga and Super Pac-man!   :cheers:
